I just broke 40mph!
Changed the oil, replaced the tail/stop light bulb. replaced the neutral, hi-beam, and dash light bulbs (found those at my local Honda shop). Adjusted the brakes and away I went off out of the sunset. Down River Road past the 20mph speed zone to the 35mph area and there I hit 40mph then a little faster with throttle to spare! Along the way I also crossed the 2k mile mark on the odometer. Not bad for a 30 year old bike. I'll putt around tomorrow and take a few photos.

Hello Lads and Ladies,
I bought this '81 from a collector in VT 2.5 yrs ago and did a thorough clean-up with the intention of my wife riding it around the city. Turns out I'm only riding it occasionally so it's time to make some room in the garage.
The bike is located in Knoxville, TN. It is VERY clean, has a clear TN title, 1,216 original miles, new tires and carb, original tool kit and owners manual, original dual seat and after-market solo seat, original (a little beat up) basket and brand new front basket as well as a box of assorted parts including the original carb and Angel Blue touch-up paint. When ridden weekly, it always fires on the first kick. Here's the bad news: I never bothered to fix the electric start and the leg shield is cracked (see photos). After watching this site for the last 2 years, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a Passport in better condition. It is ready to ride RIGHT NOW!
I'm asking $1375.00 OBO (and I WILL consider all offers) I will also consider deliveries within 100 mi of Knoxville depending on my schedule.
You may reach me at stevenrhancock@yahoo.com or at 865 603 2162.
Check out the photos at the link below and thanks for looking!

Maggie : I can relate to Larry being bored . But the seat cover is best done when the cover has been in the sun an hour or so to get warm & stretchy. So if Larry gets a burst of energy &" helps " , let him have fun. Probably better than me planning to go fishing & just sitting in a chair under my shade tree watching the robins eat all the worms in my yard. Baby Huey

Subject: [Honda-C70] Larry 'stole' my weekend project..
He said it was my fault, I left the box at his house..so he's taken the gas tank off the blue bike, cleaned it, took off, cleaned and re-assembled the carb,got the new gasket on the fuel tank, put on new fuel lines, I didn't ask if he did the planned oil change too..maybe he forgot and I might get to do something mechanical/maintenance wise on My own bike...
the seat cover I ordered for his bike came so now he can play with that--unless he already did it while I was at work.
When it gets hot or humid he's back in the house with the air on..but that seat could easily go in the house if he got it off...
This is a very bored retired man, who might get to 'help' on a '30's Shovelhead that a pal at work has, was willed to him by a friend, he's thinking about getting it running again, does not have internet so I said to write down the info and I will play on line..
Work pal needs more in his life than the woman who just dumped him--when he quit forking over $$$. 1of the guys is trying to get him hooked up with the wife's cousin, I'm encouraging him to do some things fun that he's not made the time for..his kids are 21 now, coming to visit for a family wedding, he helps care for his aging mother. . . me thinks he needs encouraged to work on his inherited bike..
And the bike in the Philippines, it's sort of a family joke--ex asks me to do stuff, or gets Jake to ask me, or calls me to get me to ask Jake (in the Marines) so I thought it was my turn...and we know Maggie thinks Honda Passports are like Lay's potato chips. . . .Maggie in IL (who wanted to clean and rebuild her own carb)

Almost 6750 members . Hurrah!
Wrote a poem in Urdu (some english) for my 70 long time back, based on music of a song.
Hae to ye bus seventy (Although its just a 70)
Pur hae shor one twenty five (But its noise is like 125)
Dikhnay mae hae piddi see (Looks very small)
Pur chulti hae very right (But runs very right)
Engine mae gussa hae (There is anger in the engine)
Tiron say dhuan hae (Smoke from tires)
Dekho dekho dekho kaisi hae is ki flight (Look look look how is its flight)
Yesterday reached office in rain. No problems from engine (amen) but I was wet till skin. I salute my 70.
Got new registration plates, looks new.
Hi Scott,
This is Scott also. I live in Phoenix and I have a set of red forks complete
incuding the lower suspension arms and all suspension, they are a little dirty
and have a few drops of white paint on them , but it rubs off. , I have no idea

tp wherever you are, also let me know if he needs anything else and I will see

Jim : The battery is the only voltage regulator . Headlight runs on AC current direct from the generator. If the battery is dead weak or missing the headlight gets too much power & burns out . The rest of the lights run on DC power from the battery. I guess the electric starter not working tried to warn you the battery was weak & needed service or replaced. Horn not working or turn signals that flash a few times then just stay on is the second chance to " fix the battery" before bulbs start burning out. On the other hand neutral light not working could mean the neutral safety switch was the cause of the electric starter not working & the kicker was not affected. Good Luck ! Baby Huey

Subject: [Honda-C70] No Headlights/Brake lights/Neutral ...
... but the Turn signals are perfect! Have I blown all the bulbs at the same time? When the neutral light didn't come on at the start of the season I kick-started the bike and it ran okay.
The bike is a 1982 C70 - 12-volt system.
Is there a regulator or something I should check? As you may be able to tell, I am not very mechanically inclined ... but just love this little underpowered scooter!
Jim

Thanks for the advice !!! This group has been really helpful to me on many things. So I purchased a new battery and headlight because both were shot and I also got a new flasher relay. I went to my local honda shop and things were pretty expensive but i was more confident that I would get better fitting and functioning parts there than from ebay. My headlight works now of course and the flashers do come on but they aren't blinking. Anyone have any thoughts on this??? Scott

> I've been riding my 81 passport for several years and love it!!! I had a recent issue arise and was hoping I could get some insight. I haven't needed to work on her much in the years that I've been riding and so unfortunately I am a bit inexperienced. Last week My headlight and blinkers all stopped working simultaneously but the tail light still works. At first I thought I might need a new battery but then I noticed that there are two leads next to the battery that were hanging free. I purchased a manual before trying anything and it looks like someone has stolen my flasher relay. Does it make sense that the absence of the relay would cause this lighting issue?

Hello group.
(1)For my 72cc, is it possible to install a more powerful oil pump?
Is it possible to install an external oil cooler radiator?
Are these things available and done?
(2)For oil flushing, what is best? Cheap oil? Diesel? Gasoline? Flushing additive in can? 10 weight oil?
(3)Is compressor oil ok to use as engine oil?
Can't answer the first question as I am very new to the group. but for 2, a good flush is kerosene or #1 diesel. For 3, compressor oil is not recommended in a combustion engine, I would imagine it would cause some problems down the line like some sort of friction failure. compressors are usually run from a source of power as opposed to the gas engine which is the power and undergoes lots of stress and temperature everytime it fires. Why do you need a more powerful oil pump? Maybe just a new one would do?Michael

Every shred of documentation here relating to the 88cc BBK says to install a high-volume oil pump. I suppose I don't mind that so much (aside from getting yet another gasket I'm a little offset by the requirement of drilling), I just can't find any for sale. Where am I supposed to get these pumps?
